It was a good night for racing Saturday at Lancaster Motor Speedway. In the Young Guns main event, David Yandle had the car to beat. As soon as he took the green flag he went straight to the front. He had no challengers for the top spot. He dominated the entire race and cruised into victory lane taking another win. He was followed by Josh Langley, Brandon Blackmon and Leah Sweatt, who was driving for Andrew Blackwood.

Two Lancaster County residents competed in the recent U.S. Transplant Olympic Games in Pittsburgh, and they're no strangers to the challenge.

Amy Saylors and Ed Heins took to their beloved competitions on the week of July 11-16 to show that having a transplant doesn't stop them from doing the physical activities they love. They were two of the 29 members on the South Carolina team.

The winning team took a tight victory in the 23rd annual Lancaster Sertoma Club golf tournament Saturday at the Lancaster Golf Club. The foursome of Dixon Parker, Rusty Reed, Junior Pate and Ryan Buckley teamed for a 49.1 over 18 holes to finish in first place and take home $1,200.

The format was a captain’s choice tournament with adjusted handicaps for the 15-team field.

The second-place team, which shot a 50.6, included Buford High School golf standout Taylor Banks along with Michael Wilson, Eric Wilson and Nicholas Wilson. The runner-up foursome netted $400.

Gunshots were fired Friday night during what sheriff's deputies say was an argument in the middle of Watts Drive.

A Watts Drive resident told deputies she and several family members were walking toward their house at 9:40 p.m. when they got into a fight with a passerby.

One of the resident's teenage daughters said a vehicle drove by and someone inside it yelled, "Y'all think you are too good to get out of the road," according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office incident report.

INDIAN LAND – The interior look of the new Del Webb Library at Indian Land will fall somewhere between your grandmother's parlor and George Jetson's apartment.

"The interior of the building is very contemporary and may be considered by some people to be high tech," said Danny Shelley, the library's architect and interior designer. "It's going to be a little different, but it's not space age.

"It's not going to have floral carpets like your grandmama's living room. It's not a house," he said.

It's with mixed emotions that by the time this piece appears in the newspaper, I've left Lancaster County to pursue a new career opportunity in my native area, Louisville, Ky., and return to the roots I love. I look to the future with much happiness and hope, but I feel sadness for what I know I'm leaving behind.
